[tom t]

anybody ever see anytrhing like this before.

[tom t]

i was trying to get a bigger picture of this. they are gallo acoustics nucleus reference uitimates,$6,000 pair made in denmark

[NeilGabriel]

Reminds me of a Cranberries CD and an eyeball game they had on their website at one time. Spookey.

[tom t]

imagine having a bad dream and waking up and running into them. might give you a heart attack

[engtaz]

Orb's on steriods. LOL

[Zen Dragon]

Strange how far out into the listening area they sit. Obviously they either don't care particlarly about using nearby walls to reinforce their sound, or the owner has no idea how to set them up. It also prevents quite the trip hazard on those input cables. Wild looking stuff.

he could be from outerspace living among us

Try it with your LSi 9 speakers you have now and see what you think, out in the room has some very nice positive effects

I'm digging the turntable and that lucky bastage seems to have the LP of Norah Jones which I have been trying to get for atleast a month.

[tom t]

looks like there is a baby in the family. check out the row of tube amp's,96 tubes. i wouldent want to re-tube that

[Lasareath]

They look like something out of a episode of Doctor Who!

I don't care how good those sound, I couldn't have them in my casa.

[NeilGabriel]

My guess is he's a cosmetic surgeon or Roger Clemons.

[tom t]

im still wondering how 8-6 1/2 drivers can give you $6,000 worth of sound.

[danger boy]

sorry but those speakers are fugly..... now the tube amps on the other hand are killer looking.

I wonder how much power he draws when he has those tube amps crankin?

[RuSsMaN]

The same amount he does when idle. When the b+ is on, it's on.

[hearingimpared]

I just looked at them again and they are kind of fugly.

[danger boy]

they look like bowling balls in a metal rack.. and where is the tweeter?

[MSALLA]

What are they?

[tom t]

by the way boys, the sda-srs's are sounding better every day. danger boy noticed that also,no tweeters!!. im assuming for $6,000 they sound good,but i cant amagine it. give me a box anyday.

[tom t]

since nobody seems to like the bowling ball speakers in the metal rack, as danger boy puts it, how about these??

[tom t]

im done with all this modern audio equipment. im going to buy something like this. less stuff to hook up.

[Gaara]

The tweeter is the bronze looking thing 3 balls up. In the later dual ball speaker it is on top, as well as the single ball center.

Are those Avantgardes in the second picture up? Pretty wild.

I think the current Gallo Ref 3.1s are much nicer looking then the older ones. Supposed to sound better and cost much less to.

Tom,

You can make a nice sleeper out of that!

[tom t]

lasareath, i was thinking of a book of matches in instead. old dry wood burns nicely

Damn Zen! Where you been?

Once again the turntable has me all aflutter!

It's all relative as to how big the room is. A third the way into the room seems to work well, but then again my experiance with my own placement has been pretty limited (very small room).

The ref 3.1's are pretty cool and would definately be worth a demo. The avantgardes, however, are a little pricy ;)

[Zen Dragon]

Damn Zen! Where you been?

Hey Schwarcw,
I have been a stranger in a strange land. I think they call it california :)

As to those tubes. I'm sure they have their own breaker box, and add another breaker box for the air conditioning unit to cool the room LOL

Did you guys notice all of the electrical outlets on the wall behind the amps?

And they all look different, like he added one or two at a time.
